Becoming-Corpus at BAM Fisher Trailer

We are still glowing with appreciation, surprise, and joy after a momentous week at BAM.

Becoming -Corpus marked the culmination of four years’ work, one year of our participation in BAM’s Professional Development Program, eleven months of work with the performers, six months of work with our Artifact Publication team and one year of work with our production team. It was a magical week at BAM: seeing you and seeing the entire project solidify was incredible.

During the run we laughed, we were transfixed, we cried our eyes out, and we felt a sense of togetherness, of belonging to a shared moment, one that perseveres.Your words of response and encouragement following the piece were tremendous. We are so glad to feel your support for our work in such a direct fashion!

We had always felt that this piece at BAM Fisher would be a very meaningful moment for us, and we are so charged by this success. We are already looking to the future, seeing what is next for us.

We want to deeply thank our performers, our collaborators, our staff, funders, audience, volunteers and artists! It was their support and participation that made Becoming -Corpus come to life.

They are your words, your presence, your encouragement and support that create the life of this piece beyond the curtain call.

We truly hope that Becoming -Corpus lives on in your memories, your words, and your new perceptions of the world around us.
